HI gang!
I am trying to do a mysql update. I wrote a small bash file that works fine at
the command line. But I would like to have it ran by PHP whenever I start the
DB. What I am trying to do is have PHP check if a new update file is there
(AUD.txt) if it is run the "euro-update.program". But I'm getting either
nothing or errors. see below....

#######################
Here is the piece of code that is making this error:
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("XXX", "YYYYYY", "ZZZZZ");
mysql_select_db("WartHog",$db);
if (file_exists("/var/lib/mysql/WartHog/AUD.txt")){
exec(`/var/lib/mysql/WartHog/euro-update.program`)
or die ('didnt work #1') ;
}
else
{
echo('File not there');
}
?>
#############################
Running the code as is I get this error:
Warning: exec() [function.exec]: Cannot execute a blank command in
/home/hatridge/public_html/Database/currency.php on line 22
#####################
When I use " " or ' ' around the program name I get only "didn't work #1".
Any ideas?
Thanks!
JIM
